Stampin with Liz Design: My Favorite Things You Gnome Me Card!

Hi there fellow crafters! Today I'd like to share a whole lot of happiness on a card! I created a fun and bright card with the You Gnome Me stamp set from My Favorite Things. They have a fun sketch up in their blog this week and I had some time to create a card to enter. I always love a good sketch!

A sketch is such a fun way to start creating! It gives you a bit of a start on how you want your card to look. Mostly we tend to create cards in a simple way, grass at the bottom, images from your stamp set on top of the grass and then sky above them. A sketch can take you anywhere!


I started my card by using a white card base in A2 size, which is approximately 4 1/4" x 5 1/2". I love this card size, which maches all the fun dies in American sizes. I added a piece of patterned paper in yellow to my card base, which gives it a spring feeling! I then added two pieces of grass. I blended a piece of white paper with Mowed Lawn Ranger Distress Oxide ink, my favorite green ink for blending, and then diecutted this paper with the grass die from the Spring Scene Builder set. I added some cute little flowers with dimensionals on my card, which come from the stamp set Wonderful Woodland Friends and coloured with Copic Markers.

I then started working on my center piece, the cute gnome on his mushroom! I love this set, I said it before, I actually dislike garden gnomes, but I'm so in love with this set! I diecutted a piece of golden foil paper with a die from the Scalloped Stitched Rectangle Dies and started building a fun scene. I blended a piece of white paper that I fussycutted in the same size as my rectangle, with the Mini Cloud stencil and Mermaid Lagoon Ranger Distress Oxide ink. I also added a piece of grass at the bottom and a white gate, which is also from the Spring Scene Builder set. I stamped, diecutted and coloured the fun images from the gnome set and added the text in the upper corner. I added this center piece with dimensionals on to my card to finish! 

Thank you so much for watching today, hope to see you next time!

Stampin with Liz Design: You Gnome Me Card!

Hi everyone! Do you have that too sometimes, that you totally fall in love with a stamp set? I actually don't like garden gnomes at all, but the set You Gnome Me from Mft stamps just speaks to me! I love these little guys!

Hoi allemaal! Hebben jullie dat ook, dat je soms helemaal verliefd op een stempelset kunt zijn? Ik heb eigenlijk een hekel aan de tuinkabouters die je wel eens bij mensen in grote getallen ziet staan in de tuin, niet voor mij, maar de set You Gnome Me van Mft stamps, trekt mij toch echt wel aan! Erg leuk, deze schattige kereltjes!

I choose for a long, small card size today. Not a standard size for sure, but I do love how you can lay out your stamped images on this size! I took a group photo today of these cute little guys, lol, in front of, next to and behind each other. For this technique you have to use masking paper, otherwise you will stamp right over and through your other images.

Ik heb vandaag gekozen voor een langwerpige kaart. Geen standaard maat, maar zo leuk om je stempelafbeeldingen over te verdelen! Ik heb de grappige mannetjes vandaag op de groepsfoto gezet, haha, voor, naast en achter elkaar. Hiervoor moet je met masking papier werken, zodat je stempels niet door elkaar heen lopen. 

This is actually a one layer card, so I stamped the gnomes first and then masked them to add a bottom and sky to my card using a blending tool and two colours of ink, Tumbled Glass and Antique Linen Distress Oxide ink from Ranger. Then when you remove the masking paper, your images will still be blank to colour next with Copic Markers. I added the text just above the cute fellows!

Deze kaart is geheel one layer. De kabouters zijn gestempeld en vervolgens afgedekt met masking papier om daarna een achtergrond te maken met inkt en een blending tool. Ik heb hiervoor de kleuren Tumbled Glass en Antique Linen Distress Oxide inkt van Ranger gebruikt. Wanneer je dan het masking papier verwijderd, houd je nog blanco afbeeldingen over die je dan in kunt kleuren met Copic Markers. In de bovenhoek heb ik vervolgens de tekst gestempeld.

Thank you so much for watching today, hope to see you next time! 

Bedankt voor het kijken, tot de volgende keer!

Stampin with Liz Design: You Gnome Me Card!

Welcome to a new Stampin with Liz Design Blog Post! Today I'm sharing some Gnome fun! For the sketch challenge at Mft stamps I created this fun card using the You Gnome Me stamp set from My Favorite Things. I don't really like garden gnomes for some reason, lol, but I do love this little guy!

I started this card with the sketch that's up at Mft stamps this week in mind. I needed a frame, so I actually started from this point. I used Silver Glitter Paper and diecutted this with the smallest die from the Stitched Rectangle Scallop Edges Frames Die-namics from Mft. To make the frame match the length of my card I diecutted twice, enlarging the die by leaving a piece of the die outside my Big Shot and then turning the cardstock around and repeating this so both sides will come together without a bar in the middle part. I added my panel on to my card with Foam Adhesive Strips.

I then started working on my background. I started creating clouds on my card base from white cardstock in A2 size with Tumbled Glass Distress Oxide ink from Ranger with a blending tool, using the Cloud Stencil from Mft. Then I blended another piece of white cardstock with Twisted Citron Distress ink and diecutted this with a Grassy Border die from Mft. I added some waterdrops and spattered some Lucky Clover ink to make the grass part pop a bit more.

I then stamped my gnome and mushroom images on Solar White Neenah Cardstock. I diecutted these, using my Brother Scan 'N Cut machine, but you can of course diecut your images with the coordinating die-namics. I coloured them with Copic Markers and added them to my card using dimensionals. I added a tekst in the upper corner, which comes from the set Sweet Somebunny and added a balloon, which comes from the stamp set Birth-Yay, both from Mft stamps. Just a simple, but fun card!

Thank you so much for watching today, hope to see you next time! 

Stampin with Liz Design: You Gnome Me Card with Video Tutorial!

Het is weer tijd voor een nieuw kaartje vandaag! Voor de sketch challenge die loopt bij MFT Card Challenges ben ik met de stempelset You Gnome Me van MFT aan de slag gegaan. Hieronder zie je het eind resultaat, 2 schattige kabouters, zijn ze niet leuk?

Time for another card today! For the sketch that's up this week at MFT Card Challenges, I created a card with the stamp set You Gnome Me from MFT. I'm showing you the end result today, 2 cute gnomes, they are just so much fun!

Voor mijn kaart van vandaag heb ik een stevige basis genomen van Thick Whisper White Cardstock van Stampin' Up. Voor de voorgrond heb ik een strook Whisper White Cardstock gebruikt die ik gestanst heb met een Stitched Rectangle Die van MFT.

For my card for today I used a steardy base from Thick Whisper White Cardstock from Stampin' Up. I used a piece of normal Whisper White Cardstock for the front that I've diecutted with a Stitched Rectangle Die from MFT.

Ik heb de achtergrond gekleurd met Peacock Feathers Distress inkt van Ranger en een blending tool. Daarna heb ik een gras border gecreëerd met een mask die ik gestanst heb met de Grassy Edges Die en vervolgens gekleurd heb met een Copic Marker. Daarna heb ik sputters aangebracht in blauw en wit op mijn achtergrond.

I blended my background with Peacock Feathers Distress Ink from Ranger with a blending tool. I then added a grass border by using a mask that I diecutted with a Grassy Edges Die and then coloured the grass with a Copic Marker. I added some spatters in blue and white on to my background. 

Ik heb de tekst in Tuxedo Black Memento inkt met een stamping tool onderaan gestempel. De kabouters en paddestoelen zijn gestempeld met dezelfde inkt en vervolgens gestanst met de bijpassende framelits. Ze zijn ingekleurd met Copic Makers, onderaan dit blogbericht vind je de kleurnummers die ik gebruikt heb. Wil jij zien hoe deze kaart tot stand is gekomen? Check dan onderstaande Video Tutorial of bekijk deze in HD op YouTube!


I stamped the tekst underneath in Tuxedo Black Memento ink with a stamping tool. I stamped the gnomes and mushrooms with the same ink and then diecutted them with the coordinating dies. They are coloured with Copic Markers, check the end of this post to see which colours I used. Would you like to see how this card came about?
